Police in Mumbai have released CCTV stills of two men suspected of opening fire on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car near Pushpa Narsee Park on Sunday evening, according to Gulf News. The footage shows the suspects abandoning a motorcycle outside Andheri (West) railway station after firing five rounds at the vehicle.
Shroff, who was leaving a Sunday football session at the park, escaped unharmed. His driver, identified as Firdosh, suffered a bullet wound to his left hand, and another person standing near the car was also injured; both were taken to hospital.
Investigators say the assailants may have tracked Shroff's routine, noting that he regularly plays football at the park for about two hours each Sunday. A police officer quoted in the report said, "It appears that the accused may have followed the actor and waited outside the park gate until he arrived."
Fifteen police teams have been formed to locate the suspects. Officers are reviewing CCTV along the suspected escape route on SV Road and checking footage from nearby railway stations to determine whether the men boarded a train after abandoning the motorcycle. No arrests have been made, and the case could be transferred to the Mumbai Police Crime Branch.
Authorities are also probing a possible connection to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has been linked to previous shootings, including an incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty's residence. A social‑media post purportedly claiming responsibility for Sunday's firing has not been verified.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Shroff at his residence following the incident. Shinde described the shooting as "deeply concerning and condemnable" and said he had spoken with Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti about the case.
